====== Information ======

===== Mailing lists =====

The LCD4Linux project uses two mailing lists. A public one for users, and a //private// one, reserved to developpers.

  * **lcd4linux-users** : lcd4linux-users@lists.sourceforge.net
   To subscribe just send a message with the subject 'subscribe' to lcd4linux-users-request@lists.sourceforge.net.
  * **lcd4linux-devel** : lcd4linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
   If you want to stay tuned about the development of lcd4linux, just send a message with the subject 'subscribe' to lcd4linux-devel-request@lists.sourceforge.net.

Note that most developers read lcd4linux-users too, so there's no need to post questions in both lists! \\\


An archive of both mailinglists is available at http://sourceforge.net/mail?group_id=1310

  * **lcd4linux-users Archiv** : http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=37243
  * **lcd4linux-devel Archiv** : http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=5491
